Tue, 28 Jul 2026 06:58:19 -0400

Investing.com -- Just one of five mega cap technology companies that reported earnings this quarter managed to outperform the S&P 500 the following day, which warns that the pattern is likely to persist as AI capital expenditure anxiety continues to overshadow otherwise solid results.

Meta and Microsoft are scheduled to report second-quarter results on Wednesday, followed by Apple and Amazon on Thursday. Wall Street’s consensus expectations set a clear bar for what "beating" actually requires.

For Meta, analysts are modeling approximately $5.78 in EPS on revenue near $42.3 billion. Microsoft consensus sits at roughly $3.10 EPS on revenue of

Citi's Chew says U.S. stock positioning unwind may not be over

Tue, 21 Jul 2026 08:18:24 -0400

Investing.com -- Citi told investors in a note that the recent technology-led selloff has triggered a broad deterioration in equity positioning across major markets, with the firm warning that "the unwind may not be over" in U.S. stocks.

According to strategist David Chew, the sharpest adjustment occurred in the Nasdaq, where positioning "reset lower but remains vulnerable given all longs are currently in loss."

U.S. positioning is said to have deteriorated sharply as the AI and technology selloff triggered widespread de-risking, with flows "overwhelmingly bearish across large caps."

While S&P 500 positioning eased primarily through long unwinds, Citi said

SpaceX shares slip ahead of Nasdaq 100 inclusion as analysts start coverage

Tue, 07 Jul 2026 05:57:23 -0400

Investing.com -- Several Wall Street banks initiated coverage of Space Exploration Technologies, setting price targets ranging from $190 to $300, with the spread largely reflecting how differently analysts value SpaceX’s AI and satellite businesses.

The moves come ahead of the stock’s inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 index on Tuesday, which is expected to trigger a wave of passive buying. JPMorgan estimated last month that the index addition could funnel $4.3 billion into SpaceX shares from passive funds.

The addition follows the company’s June 12 stock market debut, making it one of the fastest index inclusions on record, made possible by Nasdaq’s

San Francisco Fed’s Daly says policy slightly restrictive

Thu, 02 Jul 2026 09:41:39 -0400

Investing.com -- San Francisco Federal Reserve President Mary Daly said Thursday that U.S. monetary policy is slightly restrictive. She noted that strong investment growth in artificial intelligence technology and a stable labor market make the central bank's next move uncertain.

Daly spoke at a Banco de España conference in Santander, Spain. She said the Fed faces two possible scenarios. The first involves fighting inflation that proves more persistent than expected. The second involves economic growth that fails to sustain itself or investment that slows due to concerns about returns.

She said the drop in oil prices following the Iran war ceasefire is

Citi says bearish flows are building in Nasdaq and S&P 500

Tue, 30 Jun 2026 06:39:34 -0400

Investing.com -- Citi said in a note on Tuesday that bearish flows are building across the Nasdaq and S&P 500, with continued rotation into small caps signaling a divergence in global equity positioning led by the U.S. market.

The bank noted that aggregate positioning remains broadly stable, but said this "masks a growing imbalance for Nasdaq, where longs are elevated despite rising losses, leaving the market exposed to further long liquidation."

Citi noted that approximately 80% of long positions in the Nasdaq are currently offside, underscoring increased vulnerability to further unwinds.
